Intellectual property
My
development is based in numerous other ideas published by other people,
like the Fabduino, the processing code etc... So the first thing i had
to do is incorporate their authors to the final documentation.
The first thing to do is choose a license to make my proyect available
to other people. Under the web page of Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/)
you can read about all the terms of the licenses to the products, and
can choose the right one for your proyect. Also in this website you can
get your license from choosing the aspects you want to preserve and
which not. Goto : http://creativecommons.org/choose/
In example, i want my work available to change it, but only if i had a
mention in the new job. This allow me to control the point reached by
my work. I allow a comercial uses of my work (because this allow my job
to get in markets where maybe it cant arrive without a company), and i
want this license only apllies in Spain.
So in the web site y choose this things and....

At the end of the process i have a small logo for my website, which
includes all the terms that someone who uses my proyecto must comply.
Here is the logo:
income
So,
how can i get some income to make my prototipe a real design? Well, i
think that actually the best way to get it is in the crowdsourcing.
Crowdsourcing allow a simple person to get the basic income to
get another level (once you have a working prototipe) and allow
the final user os your product to buy it cheaper than at the final
release, in exchange for their support to your idea.
People
can support your product, but you must give something "to be made" if
you get the money to fund the proyect. As much as they support, the
bigger the rewars.
So here is my "theorical" crowdsourcing proyect:
![kickstarter portada](../imagenes/w17-2.jpg)
The
new kind of amazing robot DIY is here to stay. Help us to build a
building kit to get your own FABrobot-android-controlled, and you could
get a pack to build yourself in home!
It
has all the amazing features of the RC models: goes to all directions,
his heads turn around, his speaker can make all the sounds available
like in the films....its R2D2! Its
lightweight, ideal for the childs. No metal parts on it. Has a
rechargeable battery of 750mA. You can storage easily with its 1:3 scale.
Pledge 1$ or more: You will get our effusive gratitude by mail, with a photo of the final design.
Pledge 5$ or more: You will have the reward before and your name will figure in the final instructions of this great robot.
Pledge 15$ or more: You will have the reward before and a T-Shirt with R2D2 on it.
Pledge 20$ or more: You
will get a DIY kit to ensamble the final robot, and the free app to
control it. You will have all the boards and all the components to get
the mechanisms to controll your own arduino platform.
Pledge 35$ or more: A
ensabled kit of components, and a finished R2D2 housing to dress your
andriod controlled platform. You will have a standard R2D2 housing in
blue.
Pledge 40$ or more: The last reward plus your robot will have a command that can say your name through the speaker.
Pledge 50$ or more: The
last reward and the housing you wish from the R2 robots series. You can
have another housing (also the R2D2) from an R2D1, or the one you want.
